Falling Dart Uninstrumented Impact


Test ID

M-412

Description

This test subjects a molded plaque to impact by uninstrumented falling dart at varying impact energies using a staircasing method to determine energy to failure.

Options

Standards

  • ASTM D3763
  • ISO 6603-1

Data

Deflection at Maximum Load, Energy at Maximum Load, Failure Type, Maximum Load, Total Energy. This data appears in Matereality as Instrumented Dart Impact.

Replicates

Number of times this test is repeated: 5

Samples

30 impact plaques [details]

Application

This test is sufficient to characterize the impact behavior of plastics in terms of an impact failure energy. If a force-deformation curve is desired, test [M-410] should be selected.
